FOXBOROUGH – Efton Chism was a training camp star, but the rookie wide receiver has yet to see the field for the Patriots through three regular season games.
Right now, with the Patriots carrying six wide receivers and dressing five for the games, Chism is the odd man out.
But with Hunter Henry being the only Patriots pass-catcher averaging more than five targets per game, there could be room in the future for New England to experiment with some different receiver groupings.
Chism’s absence hasn’t been because of injury, coach Mike Vrabel told reporters Wednesday.
